City of Esens (Samtgemeinde* Esens, Wittmund county, Lower Saxony)
Description of flag: It is a light blue over yellow horizontal bicolour with the city’s coat of arms in the centre, which is topped by a black inscription “Esens”.
Description of coat of arms: In a silver field is a red tower with pinnacles, masoned black and flanked by a red fence on its sinister side. On top of the tower is a half black rampant bear, tongued red, wearing a golden necklace and holding a red brick between its paws in a threatening pose.
